Forbes, Entrepreneur & Inc Now Nofollow External Links

It seems like Google has two fewer sites to worry about when it comes to link schemes or manipulation. Forbes, Entrepreneur and Inc have just started to add nofollow attributes to external links in their articles. As many of you know, and as we covered in the past sites like Forbes, Inc, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur and others are constantly being used by link buyers and sellers sell links and PageRank.

Google said in the past those links are ignored anyway but it did not stop link sellers from selling them. In fact, I get at least an email a day from a link broker trying to sell me links on these types of sites.

Matthew Barby first noticed and posted on Twitter that these sites started to nofollow those links now. Marie Haynes confirmed it as well.

Forbes and Inc both silently began adding nofollow to all of their links. There's a lot of link sellers that will hate that 😂
